Answer

When Mickey Mouse was made in 1928, zippers were not available on children's clothing AT ALL. It was a recent invention (see "zippers" in Wikipedia) and was not generally accepted as a fastener in clothing. The average men's trouser was fastened to the body with buttons. A child's pants were made with three buttons...one to secure the waist band, and two to secure the flap for "number one". Yes, there was a flap covering the privates. In men's clothing there were a series of buttons on either side, a style still seen in older Navy Seamen's dress blues. But a child's breeches were made as simply as possible, so the pants only had three buttons...one you didn't see, and two you did. So unintentionally, Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks gave the Mouse a preadolescent age in their animation. It was simpler to make Mickey's pants with two buttons rather than many.
